He wasn't cast because of his "likeness" to Reeve. Fanboy non-sense.

That's not 100% accurate. It might not have been the only reason... but it was a factor.

Having spoken to people who worked on the movie, that is not the case.

So it was just a coincidence he just so happened to favor him? What were the determining factors? Surely it wasn't his acting...

I was also told by one of the writers back when blue tights was up and running that Jason wasn't Superman's son after I deduced that he was...

And you expected them to say, "Yeah you got us. That's what we're doing!" before it came out? Apples and oranges, Sir.

Well it wasn't the only or even biggest factor, but I believe it was a small one. I mean they must have tried to find someone not completely unsimilar considering the movie.

I don't think that G. Reeves looked much like the Superman of the modern era, but he did have the qualities of a 1950's Superman with slicked back hair and a broader, less angular jaw. While I enjoyed Dean Cain, I think his Clark looked better than his Superman. To sum up (because I have started to ramble), I think the three big budget franchises and to some extent, Smallville, chose actors who all had the basic features of the Superman character. |

![]() why was Cavill cast? because he already screentested 2000 times in the last 10 years and because he is british. Nolan boom boom. lets stop joking. WB was not going to spend a cent more than they had to. this meant using everything from the old failed superman movies. scripts,suits,actors from the last 7 years that were desperate becoming superman. ohhhh and the suit is from the flyby script. end of story. Snyder was working on the suit with concept artist? hahahahhahahahahhah. there was a big law suit with superman. WB was doing all the work on the suit from the office. what could and what could not be used. i dont think Routh is a good actor. but i would bet my life on it that Cavill was not cast for his acting. he looks like superman,he is cheap,he already screentested 20000 times and he is cheap. |

When John Byrne rebooted Superman in 1986, he made a conscious decision to draw Superman like Christopher Reeve. Most artists since then followed Byrne's 'redesign'. Even now we have artists like Gary Frank who basically draw a caricature of Reeve.

Even SR borrowed from previous attempts. The plane scene was taken directly from the J.J Abrams script.

I've never seen an unused design from pat projects that bore any real resemblance to the MoS suit other than being Superman suits. None have that alien design on the bodysuit most notably.

Oh, the ideas/concepts may be recycled. But it was claimed that this was a cost-saving move. I don't think that factors in at all.

WB paid for 10 years concept artist and writters for writting action scenes. so they used them.

I don't recall when. Yep the above drawing is all Swan. Either, the receding hairline wasn't too obvious as in the previous incarnation, or maybe my memory is playing trick on me. I do not have access to my old comic collection as they're all boxed away in the my old home, so I could refresh my recollection at the moment..

Good money was spent and reusing stuff (that was never used the first time around) is cost-effective. Nothing wrong with that.

Presumably, Snyder and co. had full access to the prior stuff - and (re)used what was good/useful. But new writers/designers still had to be hired at their going rate. Put it this way: at $225M, MOS doesn’t appear to be the beneficiary of any significant cost savings from defunct projects.
